— How MacKenzie Scott’s mega donation will support Chicago’s low-income and 1st-generation college students – ELYSSA CHERNEY (DIERSEN: During 1966, 1967, and 1968, I was a 1st-generation UIC student. But I was not low-income for the following reasons: a) I had a part-time job working for the Park Forest Post Office, b) my parents provided me with room and board in their home in Crete, and c) I owned a 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint that I drove to/from work and school. I bought that Pontiac with money I earned washing dishes for the minimum wage in the basement of the S.S. Kresges in Chicago Heights during 1964, 1965, and 1966. In 1967, I sold that Pontiac and bought a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442. In 1968, I sold that Oldsmobile and bought a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE.)

DAILY HERALD
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Expect that Democrats will do everything that they can to use Juneteenth to kill Independence Day. Why hasn’t the Daily Herald reported Wheaton’s stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks? Are political organizations and candidates encouraged to have entries? It would be great if the Wheaton Park District (WPD) would publish its sponsorship policy. Are all sponsors banned or just DuPage Republicans? Will parade entries include bagpipers and the high school bands, and if not, why not? What parade entries have come in so far? How much money does the WPD have available for paid parade entries? Is it just the $10,000 that the City of Wheaton gave the WPD for paid parade entries? What paid parade entries will be in the parade?
